A blogger by the name of "brainwrap" has a spreadsheet with the most up to date state by state numbers:
http://obamacaresignups.net/
At the end of week 3 it showed 700,000 sign ups and has links to each state's numbers.
These numbers do NOT include the ACA national site. AZ for example has zero, and that is where I signed up.
The actual enrollment figures won't start to be known until January when the premiums for the first month will be accounted for.
He also links other key data points, for example from the IRS how many have requested information on the subsidy.

More than 330,000 people have managed to get deep enough into new government health insurance Web sites to learn how much financial assistance they will receive purchasing coverage, the Internal Revenue Service said Saturday.
That figure is arguably the most robust measure released to date by the Obama administration of how many Americans are successfully applying for financial help in purchasing a private insurance plan.
Took me about 2 minutes to find but for Fox News they are stuck with Darryl talking with Ed and Meghan and taking a wild guess.
I am guessing that Fox News also isn't aware of the fact that besides the national site they have to check with all of the individual state sites.

make a decision.
In 90 days no one will care about what happened the first day.
Its just childish pilling on.
